Correction, the PO called me 10 minutes ago and he said that this is not the same Scott pine and now he is not sure if it's a Scott pine, he said he doesn't know....
That's really confusing me

That is my idea also...Don’t think a repot right now will solve the growth issue this year. Next spring would be fine.
216mt Above the SeaHow high up the mountains are you Max?
Ahhhhhh oh yes but only once last year, but the other one I treated have long candles and plenty of life.Did you treat this pine with your back budding powder as well? Because it can have the same effect.
It differs per plant of course, I have some plants that stay affected by it, but generally pines are not showing any signs of treatment. Just wanted to make sure, if you overdosed them, this could be a life long situation.Ahhhhhh oh yes but only once last year, but the other one I treated have long candles and plenty of life.
But could be, the symptoms are smaller buds ?
I repotted 2 years ago, removing 3cm around and 3cm under, then filled with my usual mix ( 30% of Kiryu, aka, and pumice and 10% of biochar), the center soil untouched was still good and the water is very fast to go through the pot.Do you have anything to probe the soil with? A chop stick or something? Maybe see if its getting enough water in the right locations.
We will see after the new grows are outIt differs per plant of course, I have some plants that stay affected by it, but generally pines are not showing any signs of treatment. Just wanted to make sure, if you overdosed them, this could be a life long situation.
Oh yes but it is a USA shop but they shop here, this is why I can't find here, I will do the order this afternoon, did not pay attention to the website address, thank you so much.Hmm… wasn’t that site a Swiss provider? Said Basal was included. Oh well.
In any event you’ll want the solid granules and mix with water and the fulvic and kelp to make a solution. 1/2 strength Miracle gro.
I'm thinking this might be part of the problem for you. Can you verify that some water stays in the soil by jamming a piece of wood, like a meat skewer or a chopstick under the root base? Check it an hour after watering, it should be wet or damp. If that is not the case, I think it's not the nutrients, but a lack of water.the water is very fast to go through the pot.
Perhaps is just that tree has very small root system, Also may not be recovered from repotting yet. It will generate longer needles but twice weekly liquid feeding should increase vigor. But stop as needles start to elongate to lessen this problem and after harden off can increase feed to once a week until end of watering season.That is the final part, in some days will open the new needle the candles will not elongate more, I don't know if maybe is a variety of Silvester that act in this way.
I have only this silvester around.
Last I have used solid fertilizer until half may, and after solid plus 20-20-20 liquid every 2 weeks, plus of course fulvic acid and kelp extract every 15 days, this year I was thinking to do the same regime.
Thank you, so I have to feed the plant twice a week until the needle start to elongate, and wait until they will be harder, then start with once a week, right ?But stop as needles start to elongate to lessen this problem and after harden off can increase feed to once a week until end of watering season.![]()
